Bury's Scott Quigg secured his first title when he knocked out
Argentine import Santiago Allione at 2.03 of the third round at the
Castle Leisure Centre.
A heavy right hand glanced off the top of the South American's
head and sent him face first to the canvas, where he was duly
counted out by Terry O'Connor.
Quigg had been looking for the big punches from the opening bell
and checked Allione's resolve several times with clean hooks to the
jaw.
"Hopefully I put on a good performance and I enjoyed myself in
there," Quigg said.
"He caught me a few times but it's something new and he's got a
different style so it took me a couple of rounds to figure him out.
Brian Hughes asked between rounds if he'd hurt me and I said no so
he told me to put it on him."
Sheffield fireman Jez "Smokin" Wilson and Birmingham's Max
Maxwell battled to an entertaining draw.
Both fighters took in turns to dictate the action and had fans
"oohing" and "arhing" with viciousness of their assaults. Referee
John Latham had it 58 points each and a rematch is a must.
Former Commonwealth gold medallist Kenny Anderson halted
Sheffield's Carl Wild with 15 seconds remaining in the fifth of
six-threes encounter.
Wild, a binman by day, had been doing quite well until Anderson
landed a combination to the body before snapping the Yorkshireman's
head back with a right uppercut.
Kenny is now 12-0 and is targeting a showdown with either
Commonwealth super-middleweight champion George Groves or British
ruler Paul Smith.
